You may (or may not) remember the Great Recession of 2007-2009
Bless you for helping others!!!
Don't go nutty personally.
Was raised to always have about a 3 months worth of food in a closet. I'm a shopaphobe so when I see a item I use regularly, (on sale) it's toss 2 or 3 in the cart. The prices are guarentee'd to go up so win/win.
Sure if we get nuked all bets are off, but having extra's in the house means in the winter I don't have to go out!! YIPPEE!!! It also is a "mental health-happy". If work goes T's up groceries are something I don't have to worry about. BTW I also stash Orajin's dry(sp) for my two furry idiots. Stashing cigs has yet to work out...
I keep finding them.
Being able to do stuff is more important than playing "secret squirrel". Not sure barter's gonna work out immediately after, but it eventually will. Lehman's is still my dream catalog. The hand tools. (drooling....)
Weirdest SHTF item?
3 garbage cans of hand picked anthracite coal. I will be FINE!!!
My kids wrote me off as "eccentric" (read whacked) yrs ago. They'll also be on my front porch if things go haywire. Toting grandkids.
Do not know where we went wrong with them. They were raised to have common sense!
